How to Crimp and Install AMPMODU Receptacle Contacts

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing wires, crimping AMPMODU MOD IV, IV1/2, and V receptacle contacts, and inserting them into compatible housings. It also covers essential inspection criteria for proper termination.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire Strippers, Crimping Tool (Hand Tool or Applicator), Extraction Tool (Optional)

Supplies needed:

AMPMODU MOD IV, IV1/2, or V Receptacle Contacts, AMPMODU MOD IV Connector Housings, Electrical Wire (32-20 AWG)

  1. Prepare Wire for Crimping

    Strip the wire insulation to the specified length according to Figure 2 in the application specification for your specific wire gauge and contact type. CAUTION: Ensure the wire conductor is not nicked, scraped, or cut during this stripping operation.

  2. Crimp the Receptacle Contact

    Select the appropriate crimping tool (hand tool or applicator) for your wire size and contact type as specified in Section 5, TOOLING. Position the contact in the tooling and terminate the wire according to the tool's instructions. CAUTION: Ensure the wire insulation is NOT cut or broken, and the insulation is NOT crimped into the contact wire barrel.

  3. Verify Crimp Quality

    Visually inspect the crimped contact to ensure it meets the requirements outlined in Section 3.3 and Figure 10. Verify that the crimp height and length are correct, bellmouths are evident, the wire barrel seam is closed without loose strands, and the insulation barrel firmly grips the insulation without cutting it. Confirm the wire conductor and insulation are both visible in the transition area.

  4. Insert Crimped Contact into Housing

    Carefully insert the crimped contact into the desired position within the AMPMODU MOD IV housing. Ensure the contact is fully seated and the locking lance engages the housing to secure the contact in place, as shown in Figure 10.

  5. Extract Contact from Housing (Optional)

    If a contact needs to be replaced or relocated, use the appropriate extraction tool (e.g., 843473-1, 843475-1) as listed in Section 5, TOOLING. Follow the instructions provided with the extraction tool to release the locking lance and remove the contact without damaging the housing or other contacts.
